HUGE thank you to my advisor @stevensalzberg.bsky.social for the invaluable mentorship!
Also please reach out if you'd like to geek out about introns together 🤓

Introns have to come from somewhere, right? @celineh2ooo.bsky.social and I looked at multiple genome alignments with 1000s of genomes and found 342 cases where humans (and our relatives) had gained a new intron. Still not sure where these come from, but it's a fascinating question
@celineh2ooo.bsky.social and @stevensalzberg.bsky.social compared 3,493 vertebrate genomes to identify 342 gains of introns in human genes, tracing their origins and identifying cases of intronization as a mechanism of intron emergence.
